What's it like to feel no emotion? A young filmmaker questions his growing inability to connect to his emotions by talking to a stranger online who can’t feel any. This stranger has alexithymia, which is a condition most simply described as ‘emotional blindness’, the inability to identify and describe emotions in the self.
Here, the physical intensity of dance does a lot of the heavy lifting, showing the turbulence of life with this condition, the strength required to manage it, and the strain that creates.
Lynn Shaw is a dancer from Aberdeen. Charismatic, but sometimes chaotic. After a long history of turbulent life events she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
An observational exploration of routine, monotony, attention and distraction. Will we continue to let events pass us by uncontested, or will we decide to break the cycle?
